As part of the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of desert mob, Basil Hall Editions is proud to present the first complete collection of prints from each of the art centres currently affiliated with Desart, the Association of Central Australian art and craft centres.

The Art Centres were each sent a wood block, tools and instructions in early 2010 and invited to select an artist to cut, burn, drill or incise the block in some way. Basil Hall editions staff would then make a small edition of 20 from each block.

In September 2010 the blocks themselves, the panel, the folios and the 40 individual prints were exhibited at the Araluen arts centre as part of desert mob 2010. 8 woodblocks have been inked and printed intaglio on each sheet.
